The Tempest was a Carrier who's Interceptors couldn't attack air. I do not mourn its demise. Although its damage reduction against ground targets was kinda neat.

Funny, a few months ago they said your selection would affect the outcomes of Heart of the Swarm's choices, guess there went that.

Also, I'm sure it's obvious that Narud was likely.. Duran.. But I'm really.. REALLY praying they didn't do a "disguise" that cheesily.

You got that backwards, Lav. Siding with Tosh is the canon route. Not sure about which choice is canon for Haven though.

Dr. Narud is totally Duran. I've got the feeling that Duran is going to end up like Fenix and Zasz though and have his role (if any) greatly reduced. Heck, Zeratul can't even remember who he is anymore.

I stand corrected about Tosh.

And yes Isk, I know, it was sarcasm.. and Thal- I have the same thought.

and for whether or not your choices will carry forward, they've said different things at different times but last october they said:

We’ve had a discussion about that and there’s a couple ways we’d like to handle it but we have to have canon in that this is the definite choice. So what we’ve come up with is what we call the “A” choice is always canon. So in that case it would be siding with Hanson so that she is alive. Siding with Tosh and choosing on Char to take out the air platform.

However, we’re trying not to actively deny that your experience has never happened. So what we’re doing is, if we ever need to reference something, we have a canon version. But the truth is, my preference is to just avoid those topics all together so that your experience is never invalidated. So you play Wings of Liberty and you make certain choices as you go forward in the StarCraft Universe. You don’t run into anything that invalidates your previous choices.

Regarding scrapped units: There was also a Protoss Dark Templar unit on a surfboard, I think it was called the Soulhunter. It had a neat "power up" ability, where after it killed a unit, its attacks became more powerful for a short period of time. Furthermore, this bonus would stack, up to three times I think.

which kinda implies Tosh and Haven are going to go the way of Fenix

Blizzard, stop taking the lazy way out. You know what I'd prefer over having my "experience never invalidated"? Consequences for my actions.

didn't watch the video because lol @ a needle in a 1:14:44 haystack, but if it's how you describe then they just invalidated both choices, since in the Wings of Liberty "kill the colonists" option it's Raynor who does it citing some bullshit about it "being a terran matter" (because it's so important for Raynor's Raiders to take time off from the revolution to kill a bunch of civilians when the purifier was already prepped and ready)
